1 cup butter flavor crisco
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon butter extract
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Royal icing
6 Tbsp warm water
3 Tbsp meringue powder
4 cups confectioners sugar
Mix well in a heavy duty mixer. Add more water, a teaspoon at a time, until icing reaches desired consistency. You can use gel colors to tint icing. I put mind in baggies and snip off the corners to decorate.
